In science:

To enable detector access and maintenance, the entire shielding assembly consists of three parts: (1) a ﬁxed shielding house, (2) a movable trolley on which the target detector sits, and (3) the front door which can be moved by wheels.

Hierarchic Models of Turbulence, Superfluidity and Superconductivity

Although most stellar population indicators point towards star formation at z > 2, it remains unclear when and how these stars were assembled into their current dynamical structures.

EROs in the EIS Fields. I: The AXAF (Chandra) Deep Field

However, the ﬁrst scenario, based on the rapid dissipative col lapse model, postulates that the stars were formed and assembled into elliptical galaxies in one rapid collapse event at high (z > 2) redshift (Eggen, Lynden-Bell, & Sandage 1962; Larson 1974; Tinsley & Gunn 1976).

On the contrary, the opposing hierarchical merger scenario assumes that ellipticals were assembled from previously formed sub-units, and that this process has continued until the current epoch (see, e.g.

Prospects for a Quantum Dynamic Random Access Memory (Q-DRAM)

This structure acts as a self-assembled template for self-assembling a quantum memory.

Prospects for a Quantum Dynamic Random Access Memory (Q-DRAM)

From a series of approximate static hot gas models, Loewenstein argues that most of the heating occurred during or after the assembly of the group or cluster gas, not throughout the intergalactic gas at an earlier time.

On Resolving Singularities

Assemble an ensemble of N equi-probable microstates; carry out (Boltzmann) weighted average of the macroscopic quantity, say magnetization M, over the ensemble as given below.

An Introduction to Monte Carlo Simulation of Statistical physics Problem

So far so good; we know now how to assemble, employing random numbers, a Markov chain of microstates each produced from its predecessor through an attempted single ﬂip.
